Cocos2D-X free Sprite Sheet Packer, GIMP plugin

This is a small python plugin for GIMP to convert Layers into plist files. It is nice because you can use GIMP to edit sprites and then pack them with this simple Packer plugin. All you need to do is download and extract the files to your gimp plugins folder.
It uses a very simple algorithm to pack the sprites/layers but it is a free sprite sheet packer.

Requirements

Python 2.7+

gimpfu python library (usually installed with gimp but if any problem comes up check this first)

Installation

Tested with gimp 2.8 ubuntu and windows

To install the plugin put the python script(s) under your gimp plug-ins directory(probably is a hidden folder named .gimp-2.8 under your home/User folder) and start gimp

make sure the scripts are executable (linux only, chmod +x)
